Hello all,

I’ve debated sharing this on here as I’ve seen a few sad posts on here recently but I always looked for positive stories on here when having treatment so I wanted to share our 20 week scan with you all in the hope that it will give hope to others. Our little ivf miracle comes after trying for a baby for 10 years, 8 of those spent having failed fertility treatments, with four surgeries for severe stage 4 endometriosis along the way, two severe cases of OHSS (one of which left me hospitalised and very poorly, needing to have my chest drained!) and lots of bumps in the road. Despite all this, we never gave up! We are still pinching ourselves every day that this frozen embryo transfer worked and feel so lucky but I don’t think we’ll really believe it until baby is safely here in our arms. Wishing you all lots of luck in your journeys 💗💙

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing a success story - if people didn’t do this I know that I for one would lose all hope as there are so many knock backs.
